Hello,

remove negative battery cable. Drain coolant system. remove air cleaner (if necessary). Remove serpentine belt. Remove water pump pulley. Note position of locator tab on top of pump for reassembly reference. Remove water pump and gasket, making sure to clean off all old gasket.

reverse to install new pump. Put thread sealant on water pump bolts. make sure locator tab is positioned correctly. Fill with coolant.
